Going concern

Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In making their assessment, the directors have considered the company's customers, suppliers and staff. The company has introduced and adhered to all guidance as instructed by the UK Government for the safety and welfare of the home's residents and staff. The company have prepared budgets and forecasts for the next twelve months, which take into account changes in trading conditions. These demonstrate that the company should have the financial resources to cope with a significant reduction in the occupancy of the care homes, in the event that such a scenario was to arise. The company has net current liabilities (despite a positive shareholders' funds) but through the continued support of its directors, the parent company and related parties the company is able to continue and does not see issues arising in the following 12 months from sign off. Based on the above the directors believe that the company will continue to have adequate financial resources for the foreseeable future.”

Significant events

• “This has been a positive year for the company and this is reflected in an increase in turnover and profits before taxation. This left the company in a positive position moving into the upcoming year. The most significant costs relate to staff and they are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Future staff costs are considered when considering fees charged to residents.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
